The usual Headings method that is shown for Word works, but the result is a clunky looking TOC placed into the ebook,(which I suppose then needs HTML work to spruce up.) It looks to me as if the hyperlink to the bookmarks will work fine.
First place bookmarks on each chapter title page (For Word use Insert,Bookmarks on top left corner on your computer) After that, highlight the chapter name in the regular TOC and hyperlink it to the chapter bookmark. (For Word, Insert,Hyperlink,This Document,Bookmarks arrow, find bookmark and highlight and hit OK.) The reader will see the link in the your regular TOC.
Has anyone else tried this?

Calibre does not fix, that, which was non-functional or broken.
A typewritten TOC stays just that.
Calibre can generate chapter breaks and an appropriate TOC from specific markups
Calibre includes a TOC tool (the Icon looks like a list with a finger selecting), you may have to add the Icon to the toolbar (preferences: look and feel: toolbars). This tool is also available within the editor
